So what is their direction? With this “major overhaul” you speak of?

Zach Harper @talkhoops.bsky.social · 1d

Which is what? Be specific

Let’s do this. What do YOU think should be the conversation about the team right now? What did I miss?

“You guys all keep saying the same thing about them”

I wonder why that is…

As a bulls fan, I agree. But at least Jerry will get his Play-in game at home

A rebuild "as recently as" 8-9 years ago?

You know what’s a broken record? The Bulls. Team has been mismanaged for years. If you want to buy into one foot in and one foot out, have fun.

Doug Seibold @dougseibold.bsky.social · 1d

Most national writers like @talkhoops.bsky.social are broken records re Bulls. This team did a gut rebuild as recently as 2017. And in past year's "retool" they've moved 4 of 5 key players assembled in 2021 reset. Our lottery and injury luck over this time: bad.

That’ll make the score seem a lot closer when we look back on this game this week.

Looks like the Mercury are in retrograde. Got em

Zach Harper @talkhoops.bsky.social · 2d

Thank god the Raiders got that second field goal. Otherwise this game would’ve been embarrassing for them

I only generalized like that because they already hired Dean Cain so that’s what’s left

When your potential hire list is nothing but dudes who can’t hold a job and are still angry they got cut from JV football which is where their dreams died, I guess you invest tax dollars in buying that ad space

Been running every commercial break for every sporting event. They are desperate.

Not just ESPN. They’ve been running nonstop during college football games on all networks. Sure you can guess why.

ESPN with a “Join ICE” commercial during the break. Disney really on a run here
